<p>A thousand miles north of Napa, an explosion of funky wineries amid glorious British Columbia scenery are producing fine tipples, along with fantastic farm-to-plate food</p><p>Even to someone accustomed to going round wineries, Mission Hill is just jaw-dropping. The 40 specially commissioned sculptures, the 12-storey bell tower, the collection of ancient Greek amphorae, the Chagall tapestry … this is as grand as a wine experience gets, yet it’s not in the Napa Valley but a thousand miles to the north in Canada’s Okanagan Valley.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/oct/02/okanagan-canada-wine-british-columbia-vineyard-lake">Continue reading...</a>Canada holidaysNorth and Central America holidaysTravelWine holidaysFood and drinkSun, 02 Oct 2016 06:00:07 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/oct/02/okanagan-canada-wine-british-columbia-vineyard-lakePhotograph: Alamy Stock PhotoPhotograph: Alamy Stock PhotoFiona Beckett2016-10-02T06:00:07ZTop 10 wine trips with a differencehttps://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jun/05/travelfoodanddrink.china
From great grapes at the Great Wall of China to overlooked gems in India and Japan, some of the world's best wineries are found where you'd least expect them, says Robert Joseph<p>When in China, take the time to visit the Great Wall winery which, as its name suggests, is close to the wall itself. There are some surprisingly good wines here, including examples of a grape called the Gernitsch, which may hail from Bordeaux but now exists nowhere outside of China. You'll also get the warm feeling of seeing the beginnings of the next wine revolution. China is currently planting nearly 250,000 acres of vines per year - about as much as South Africa has today. So, the chances are that we'll be buying and drinking Chinese wines within five years. </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jun/05/travelfoodanddrink.china">Continue reading...</a>TravelTop 10sFood and drinkChina holidaysNew York holidaysJapan holidaysCanada holidaysParis holidaysUnited States holidaysGreece holidaysTurkey holidaysGeorgia holidaysIndia holidaysWine holidaysTue, 05 Jun 2007 12:42:54 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jun/05/travelfoodanddrink.chinaPhotograph: PRFind wines ... discover lesser-known wineries in locations as unlikely as Japan and India.Photograph: PRFind wines ... discover lesser-known wineries in locations as unlikely as Japan and India.Robert Joseph2007-06-05T12:42:54Z
